UNITED-STATES PATENT OFFICE- ARTHUR M. SIEBELIST, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

TOY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,567, dated April 26, 1904.

Application filed June 19, 1903.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ARTHUR M. SIEBELIST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia,county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and amusing Toy, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a new and amusing pneumatic toy, and has for its object to provide a toy consisting of a hollow handle to which the mouth is applied, this handle containing a wheel adapted to be revolved by the air blown through the handle, a pointer being connected to the wheel, which pointer is adapted to revolve over the surface of adisk, and the number of spaces in which the pointer stops can be used for counting or telling of fortunes.

With these ends in view this invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then specifically designated by the claim.

In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, the construction and operation will now be described in detail, referring to the accompanyingd rawing s, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a vertical section through the improved toy; Fig. 2, a plan view of the same, showing thedisk only provided with numbers; Fig. 3, a similar view to Fig. 2, showing the disk provided with spaces and inscriptions for telling fortunes; Fig. 4-, a plan view of the toy with the pointer and disk removed.

A represents a handle, which is provided with an opening B, extending longitudinally therethrough, said opening being enlarged, as represented at B, at the outer end of the handle, and the rim around the opening B of the handle is notched, as indicated at C.

Serial No. 162,185. (No model.)

wheel E is revolved. The wheelE is located in a cavity B at the termination of the passage B, and any air blown through the passage B will necessarily pass through the wheel E and revolve the same and then passes outward through the passages provided by the notches C, and in this manner the pointer is revolved by simply blowing through the handle. The surface of the disk may be marked with any characters desired, such as with numbers, as shown in Fig. 2, and this toy: then could be used as a counter for games, &c.

to take the place of the ordinary tee-totum, or the surface of the disk may be marked with inscriptions, such as shown in Fig. 2, the disk being divided in equal sections and each section containing an inscription in the form of a prediction, and in this mannerthe toy could be used as a fortune-teller, as the user can blow into the instrument and the space in which the pointer would stop would indicate his or her fortune.

This toy can be manufactured at a comparatively small price, and I do not wish to be limited to the uses to which the same could be put, as the disk could be marked in any manner desired, and I do not wish to be limited to the exact construction here shown, as slight modifications could be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is In a toy, a tube having an enlarged end and an enlarged opening in the flared end forming an extension of the tube-openin g, the tube having its end notched, the said notches communicating with the enlarged opening, a disk fitted on and attached to the enlarged end and the notches forming parts for the escape of air, a shaft journaled in the disk and depending into the enlarged opening, an indicator on the outer end of the shaft, a disk having blades struck therefrom, secured on the depending end of the shaft.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. g

ARTHUR M. SIEBELIST.- Witnesses:
